Far as I know Bruce C was the only one to have a flat.
I had two last time I flew to Alaska. Got to thinking about that and the remote
areas we would be flying on the MV/Oregon flight. Decided on some insurance
through Slime. Got the insurance and more, out of balance tires.
Last year on the way out of MV, John W had a flat. He used a can of tire stuff
to get going. We landed at Richfield, UT for lunch. Stopped by Walmart and
each of us got another can for emergency use. Got a can in the airplane now.

I am building a Kolb MK III Extra, but have also flown many hours in Centra
l America as a missionary pilot.
A policy that I have is to never patch an airplane tire tube if at all poss
ible to replace it. I carrying a repair kit in the emergency tool kit in t
he plane and of course in a remote area there was no way to replace the tub
e. There is a lot riding on the tube. A patch can cause severe damage o
n landing if it did not "take".
Just a thought.

Subject: | Re: Flat tires... |
FWIW I always carried a spare TUBE in my 170. Didn't weigh much. Also
didn't like the idea of a patch, and many airports didn't (& maybe
still don't) have 8 x 6 tubes. Tailwheel is not all that necessary,
so didn't carry a spare tube for that.

Subject: | John B back from Great Adventure Thursday! |
I think I let everyone know that I made it home, but just in case....
Made it home after 16 great days. Landed Nauga Field about 3:30 pm on Thursday.
We would have been home sooner but John H and I waited for more favorable weather.
We tucked in behind a front and followed it all the way. John H caught
up to it in Missouri and should be getting home this afternoon. I had tailwinds
all the way!
Can't put into words how much fun I had and the great folks I had the pleasure
of spending time with. Too many to thank right now and I don't want to insult
anyone by leaving them out.
Trip Stats:
Total Trip Miles = 4569 sm
Moving average speed = 79.5 mph
Total average speed = 76.8 mph
Fuel used = 258.5 gallons
Avg Fuel burn = 4.24 GPH
Total Tach time = 61.0 hours
Lowest price for 100LL was at SWI @ $2.75
Highest price for 100LL was at GUP @ $4.45
Just a few things I learned:
1) You can read, talk, and type about flying at altitude, but until you've nursed
a plane off a high, hot runway, you haven't got a clue!
2) The extra 20 hp of the 912S is a great advantage flying at the high altitudes
and it shows up quickly in these conditions. I have the 912UL (80hp).
3) I thought I had prepared myself for high wind conditions prior to the flight.
What I did was good but not enough. Need to add tailwind landings to the prep
list. Waiting on light winds would leave you stranded for months out west.
4) Winds in some places out west change speed and/or direction in an instant.
You have to be on your toes when close to the ground.
5) There are almost unlimited places of natural beauty and wonderful people spread
out across this great nation. Take ten lifetimes to see and meet them all.
6) Larry C needs a new "calibrated" wind meter! [Wink]
7) I had more fun than I deserve!
I've got chores to catch up on having been gone so long. I have a few good pics
(nothing of the quality of Mike M's). When I get time, I'll figure out a way
to share those for those that are interested. I'm want to look at putting them
on Google Maps along our route. That would put them in sequence and at the
proper location. I'll let you know. Stay tuned!

Thanks too much,

I really enjoyed reading your Blog John, even though it was short the pictures
were great and I checked your progress every day. A trip like that looks like
more fun than any super expensive vacation that anyone could ever take. I hope
to do the same one day ! Thanks for posting and letting us share in your
adventure.

Subject: | WRT M3X prop boom measurements. |
Folks I started the mating of the Suzuki motor to the Mounts. I need some measurements
as to prop clearances and measured distance from the Boom the the center
of the prop hub. I can't see where some of you reported where you had a 72
inch prop. I see where I can install a 70 inch prop on my mount but then clearance
will be down to about an inch. These are preliminary measurements for my
airframe.
Anyway I need to figure out what's what WRT that.
Thanks

I have a turbocharged Suzuki G1.0. & a 68" inflight electric adjust IvoPr
op. My measurements are: from tip of prop to boom tube=2C I have close to
2 3/4" clearance. Of course=2C you have a different redrive than I do=2C
but it sounds like your prop position is very close to mine.

I've flown with 70,71, and 72" props on my mkIII. Clearances ranged from
the "book" 1.5" to as little as .75". Currently have 1.25" with my new 71"
blades.
The lower the line of thrust the more efficient the system will be.

Looks like the attachment didn't arrive with the post. The pics are

consideration of those who still have dial up. If someone can tell me

Subject: | WRT M3X prop boom measurements. |
Okay thanks, I guess and also based on what John H. said that the Suzuki motor
crank is stationed lower on the mounts than the Rotax.
I would like at one point to have the SPG-2 turned down and have a 5 or 6 blade
prop on it. this will place the center of thrust just about equal with the trailing
edge of the wings. However for the moment and with the budget I got I'll
keep it as is.
A friend of mine was looking at it today for the first time and she said "it has
such a big motor on it"..... :-) I guess the DOHC 1.3 is kinda large looking
on the frame.
